Chapter 20, Problem 4PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The resonating structure of phthalimide anion and the acid strength comparison between phthalimide and benzamide are to be provided along with the detailed mechanism of the third step of Gabriel synthesis.

Concept introduction:

The Gabriel synthesis is a three-stage procedure, which is used to prepare primary aliphatic amine from the corresponding organic halides. The reaction uses potassium phthalimide, which is formed by the reaction between phthalimide and a strong base, such as potassium hydroxide.
